Best aftermarket replacements
When it's time to replace the wiper blades on your 2018 Nissan Altima, you have a wide array of excellent aftermarket options. Here are some of the top choices, ranging in price and features:
- Bosch ICON: (Premium Price Tier) Known for their beam blade design and exclusive FX dual rubber, Bosch ICON blades offer exceptional all-weather performance and a long lifespan. They are designed for quiet operation and superior visibility.
- Rain-X Latitude: (Mid-Premium Price Tier) Rain-X Latitude blades feature a contoured beam design for even pressure distribution, which helps to eliminate streaks. They are also enhanced with a water-repelling coating that provides even clearer vision during rain.
- Trico Force: (Mid-Range Price Tier) Trico Force blades are built with a robust, aerodynamic design that resists lift at higher speeds. They utilize a premium all-weather wiping element for clear visibility in various conditions.
- Michelin Stealth: (Mid-Range Price Tier) Michelin Stealth wipers combine the advantages of both traditional and beam blades, with a hinged design that provides flexibility and contouring to your windshield. They offer good all-season performance and durability.

Attachment style
The 2018 Nissan Altima primarily uses the J-hook attachment style for both the driver and passenger side wiper blades. This is one of the most common and easiest attachment types to work with. The J-hook design allows for a secure fit and straightforward installation for most aftermarket blades.
How to install
Replacing your wiper blades is a simple maintenance task that can be done at home. Here are the general steps for installing new wiper blades on your 2018 Nissan Altima:
- Lift the wiper arm: Gently pull the wiper arm away from the windshield until it locks into an upright position. Be careful not to let the arm snap back against the glass, as this can cause damage.
- Remove the old blade: Locate the small tab or clip where the wiper blade connects to the wiper arm. Press this tab or lift the clip and slide the old blade off the J-hook. It may require a little wiggle to release.
- Attach the new blade: Take your new wiper blade and slide the J-hook through the adapter on the blade. You should hear a click or feel it lock into place, indicating a secure connection. Give it a gentle tug to ensure it
